Overview

Mission

The national coalition for access to autism services (ncaas) seeks to assure and enhance current levels of health care insurance coverage of and access to applied behavior analysis (aba) and related autism services as a part of any plan to repeal and replace the "patient protection and affordable care act" (p.l. 111-148, 111-152) or to otherwise modify the implementation of this statute or other applicable statutes, notably medicaid and the state children's health insurance program (schip). The ncaas will also work to ensure that any regulatory changes in healthcare policy undertaken by the current administration do not disadvantage those with autism spectrum disorder (asd) and ideally would work to expand access to care for this population.

What it reported doing in 2024

During the reporting period, ncaas held bi-weekly calls with members to provide status updates on federal activities and ncaas objectives. Ncaas continued to engage with the u.s. Congress on issues associated with the department of defense's autism care demonstration (acd). The national academies of science, engineering and medicine (nasem) was charged by congressional legislation to conduct an independent analysis of the acd. Representatives of ncaas were invited by nasem to present policy and clinical expert analysis concerning the acd and provided written follow up to in-person presentations. Ncaas members and contracted staff provided comments, usually in public dockets concerning autism coverage by medicaid in Illinois, Massachusetts, and Arizona.ncaas members met with members of congress, relevant committee staff and federal agencies on issues related to the implementation of the mental health parity and addiction equity act and as it has in prior years continued to advocate for the coverage of telehealth autism treatment services by state medicaid programs and by the acd.
